Inspiration Ave Challenge

Inspiration Avenue's Team Challenge this week is Faces  

and the timing couldn't be any better!

Just over a month ago I rediscovered

the satisfaction one can get from creating faces

when I participated in the 29 Faces Challenge Sept 2013.

From my first awkward drawings to 

modern stylized digital faces, 

it was a terrific growing experience.

One face, that at first I thought was too depressing, grew on me

to such an extent that I have just made it my new profile pic.

It began like this

Then I played around with it

(I think this is really cool)

and becausse I love color, played around some more

and more

I see so many possibilities with this face that I

made a rubber stamp of it to use in my mixed media work.

 My lino block skills are quite rusty and

 the image isn't as perfect as I wanted.

Note: technically this isn't a "lino block" as I did this in rubber;
However when I am able to get more supplies
I will attempt another go at it.

Thank you to Maggie  
& Inspiration Avenue for this weeks challenge!
